Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 1166 Feng Shui takes turns

In the spacious and bright hall, Sima Nianzu and Qin Jin exchanged a few words and divided the guests into seats.

"Where's Tangning? Isn't she here yet?"

"Someone has been sent to call him."

"I didn't expect him to be the new vice-captain of the headquarters. It's true that there are talents from generation to generation, and a new generation replaces the old one. Brother Sima, from this point of view, we are all old." Qin Jin said with emotion.

When he was in charge of the team, Tangning was just an unknown team student. To him, he was just like an ant.

He didn't expect this ant to sit on an equal footing with him today, which made him feel a little sad and old in his heart.

Sima Nianzu was expressionless: "Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. We advance slowly, and others advance quickly. Naturally, new people will replace old ones. In a few years, maybe you and I will see him. I'm going to bow and salute and call Master Uncle."

Qin Jin said: "Isn't he a low-level spiritual root? How could he enter the realm so quickly? Look at his speed of cultivation, which is comparable to that of a genius in the world."

"Who knows, everyone has their own situation. There are some people in the world who are born with good luck. What can you do?"

"That's right. Some people are just lucky. Speaking of which, how could he, a little cultivator Qinghai, get involved with Nangong Muxue's disciple? It's really puzzling."

"I heard that Nangong Steward Tuer and him were childhood sweethearts, and they were married by fingertips. Later, he was met by Nangong Steward who was passing by. He saw his extraordinary talent, so he brought him back to the mountain gate."

"It is rumored that Manager Nangong has left the mountain, and he may stay in the Qingwu Camp in the future. With this relationship, it is no wonder that the column will transfer him to the headquarters. Maybe we will all have to give way to him in the future." Qin Jin thought deeply. Said.

Sima Nianzu remained silent and did not answer.

Qin Jin was about to continue talking, but suddenly his expression changed, and he closed his mouth again. After a while, a disciple led Tangning to the room.

"Uncle Sima, Uncle Qin." Tang Ning bowed to the two, still using the old address. This was the first time he and the two had met in private, so she kept her figure low.

"You don't have to be so polite. From now on, we will only address each other as brothers and sisters. This is how the sect's internal regulations are. If you call him like this, we will feel a little uncomfortable. Sit down!"

Tangning sat down as she said.

Sima Nianzu said: "The two of you are invited to come here this time, mainly to discuss the next direction of the alliance. The stewards of each brigade and the small captains need to be settled in the next few days, and then we will resume production and pick-up in the areas under our jurisdiction. The affairs of all parties are time-consuming and labor-intensive, we have to discuss a preliminary specific plan first, and then bring it to the alliance for discussion."

"First of all, there are financial issues. So far, the higher-ups have not allocated a cent of funds to us. I see this messy situation. Funds will not be issued in a short time. It is said that there may be no funds this year. Allotment, Zongmen is now waiting for us to resume production and provide financial support."

"Last time when I went to the column to visit the uncles, the column leader, Mr. Cao Heng, and the inspector, Mr. Mao Yu, both revealed this meaning in their words. We have to solve all the problems by ourselves. We must return everything to normal operation by the end of the year. At that time, the column may send people down to investigate."

"If the situation is still in chaos, in the current state of stagnation and paralysis, the headquarters will not have an easy life next year."

"Don't forget, we are all just acting as agents, and the higher-ups can stop the appointment. This is the first assessment task assigned to us by the column. Before next year, we must fully resume mining spiritual mines, planting spiritual medicines, and many other tasks. It must not affect next year's harvest."

"If it can't be done, the three of us may all face demotion. Therefore, restoring the normal operation of the alliance is now a top priority."

Qin Jin continued: "Without funds, many things will be unsustainable, such as hiring monks to mine spirit mines, transportation costs for people coming and going, rebuilding formations in various resource jurisdictions, and no gathering of spirits in the herb garden. You can't grow elixir even if you don't use it."

"In terms of funding, the column has already proposed a solution for us. During these years of fighting against the rebels, all the Taoist sects in Donglai County have joined the rebels. It has been several decades. Let's put their taxes first. Once it is paid, it will be our expense.”

As soon as this remark came out, Qin Jin's eyes lit up. He has been in charge of the financial affairs of the alliance for many years, and he is still in charge of the financial affairs. He is very concerned about this matter: "Is this possible? Will those sects agree?"

Sima Nianzu said: "This is beyond their control. Now that the main force of the rebel army in Donglai County has been wiped out, it is already an exception for the remaining sects to continue to survive. How could they dare to fight at this moment? Push three times and stop four times."

"In the past few days, I have roughly calculated that there are only Liuyunzong and one family left in the third-level sect of Xuantang City, and there are twelve other D-level sects in Tingcheng. The [-]-year taxation period has passed sixty years. For Yu Nian, let them hand over this part first, and they will get a total of about [-] billion spirit stones, which is enough for the alliance's expenses."

"In addition, we need to restart some of the previous trading business as soon as possible. Now that many sects and aristocratic families have been wiped out, many of our previous businesses were linked to them, and we must find alternative trading parties as soon as possible. "

"Some alchemy, talisman, weapon refining, and formation industries that belonged to the alliance have to be re-established, as well as shops in various places, and some commercial channels that originally belonged to us have to be re-established."

"First of all, let's start with the industries belonging to the fourth brigade. There are 32 industries under its jurisdiction, nine high-grade spiritual mines, one top-grade spiritual mine, one fourth-level high-grade spiritual vein, and three fourth-level middle-grade spiritual veins..."

…………

Sima Nianzu has already made a preliminary plan for every task. He has been the vice captain of the alliance for many years, and he is very familiar with many affairs of the alliance. No one knows how the alliance operates better than him.

He knows every property of the alliance, whether public, private, sect, or alliance.

He is very clear about the situation of all the sects and families in Xuantang City, and now he has explained each item like a few treasures, and the designated plans are also watertight, reasonable and rigorous.

The discussion continued until the next day, when the three of them conducted preliminary checks on various matters. Basically, Sima Nianzu and Qin Jin were discussing, and Tangning occasionally raised a few related questions.

Although he has been in the Xuantang City Alliance for so many years, he has never had the opportunity to touch this level of affairs. The only person who holds real power is the team leader, and he only has three resource jurisdictions under his jurisdiction, as many as the Alliance. The vertical and horizontal transactions are not an order of magnitude at all.

When he returned to the temporary room, Gu Yuanya was already waiting here.

"Master." Upon seeing him, Gu Yuanya flew towards him like a baby swallow.

There was also a knowing smile on Tangning's face.

During the battle with the rebels, monks recruited by Taixuanzong like Gu Yuanya have been doing logistical affairs in the rear, but there is not much danger.

"Master, I heard Senior Yan Minyi say that you returned to the column and wanted to find you several times. It was she who said that you might come to Xuantang City soon, so she didn't go and was just waiting for you to come. !" Gu Yuanya smiled, holding his wrist with both hands and said.

Tang Ning touched her head. Gu Yuanya was no longer a slim young girl, but now she was a middle-aged woman in her 40s and [-]s. When they were together, she seemed younger.

"What have you been doing these days? Why aren't you in the alliance?"

"There is a large-scale auction in Lishi. I met with Senior Brother Chen and Senior Brother Gao to go around. It has been a long time since the war. I have not seen such a prosperous scene. Last night, when I returned to the alliance, I just heard that you have returned to work."

"Chen Xiaofan, Gao Yuan and the others are still alive?"

"Of course I'm alive. Senior Brother Chen and Senior Brother Gao have successfully conceived babies. Only Junior Brother Yan has not been able to conceive yet."

"Where are they now?"

"Both serve on teams."

The master and apprentice immediately chatted about their respective situations, until around dusk, a disciple came to report that the cave mansion built for him had been completed.

With his current status, of course he doesn't need to do these trivial things himself. If he continues to speak, someone will build it for him.

The newly built Dongfu is quite large, majestic, and occupies a vast area. The disciples of the Office of Affairs dispatched more than a dozen manpower, and it took two or three days to complete the construction.

Inside, the winding paths lead to seclusion, the roads are crisscross, there are pavilions, gardens, waterside pavilions, lakes and mountains.

The disciple in charge of the Alliance Affairs Hall led him along and introduced him. It took him half an hour to walk around the cave.

"Thank you for your hard work." Tangning was quite satisfied.

"Don't dare, if Master Uncle has other needs, just give orders."

"Go ahead! Leave me alone."

"The disciple retire."

After dismissing the disciples from the Office of Affairs, Tangning returned to the main room. As soon as she sat down cross-legged, she welcomed her first guest.

A middle-aged man with a fair complexion was waiting in the waiting room. Tang Ning pushed the door open and walked in. The man quickly got up and saluted, "Disciple pays respects to Master Tang."

"Junior Brother Jiang, you're welcome, please sit down!" Tangning said after walking to the main seat and waving her hand.

The person who came was none other than Jiang Ru, who used to be directly under the seventh team of the brigade. He was originally a disciple of Ren Quan, the head of the regiment. Back then, Tang Ning was trapped in the mysterious space for decades. After returning, he was dismissed from his position and was assigned by Ren Quan, who had never dealt with him. In the seventh team, Jiang Ru was serving as the captain at that time.

"Don't dare, the sect has its own rules. Uncle Tang has changed from a gentleman to a leopard, and now he is the vice-captain of the regiment. I dare not accept this call as a junior." Jiang Ru was bitter in his heart, but he looked respectful on his face.
